[Elecraft] KPA500 Kits

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

The first kits went out to field testers last week (or so). They're
now providing feedback on the assembly-from-kit experience (we saw
W0YK's report). One might speculate that the final manual printing is
awaiting incorporation of that feedback..... or perhaps they'll just
include errata with the kits that ship to the rest of us...

>>I don't think anyone has received a kit or even shipping confirmation.  I really wish Elecraft would give a realistic ship date instead of stringing us along.  I don't mind waiting, I waited 5 months for my K3, just tell me a realistic date.  I ordered my kit early the first day that they were offered and no word yet.  Eric, just throw mine in your bag and bring it to Hamcom, I'll meet you at the Elecraft booth on Friday.  :)
